Do you know that eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and squash,
are really fruits? They can be white, yellowish, green, purple or purple-black
and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. You can saute, bake, roast, fry,
stuff, stir fry, steam or grill them. You can mix them with other vegetables
or with meat. Eggplant might compliment other food as a side dish, but good
